The scenario is less than ideal for a struggling defense. First road game, big crowd, ranked opponent. And the ACC's top rusher, leading receiver and No. 2 passer are standing on the opposite sideline, waiting for a chance to boost their statistics. Such is life for the defensive players on North Carolina's football team, which visits No. 19 Clemson today (noon, WRAL) at Memorial Stadium. (Durham Herald-Sun)
